*Like a giddy little school girl, I ran outside with bike in hand at the first sign of snow. Just a stock 2.0 Dics. But it won't be for long. Anyone have thoughts on upgrading it? I have been told there are only so many things you can do to a chevy, and it will still be a chevy. I don't know I think the frame is pretty solid, and would make a good base for upgrades...namely, Avids, and some Rockshocks. At least to start with.

My old XCR I never should have sold is the polished 8 speed silver. I set that bike up with factory DH tires and fire xc's and that was a blast to drive but the i-drive gave me alot of noise so I sold it.
The green XCR I currently own although the frame is a little heavier. It is sub 28lbs which is fine with me and I am running it more for XC race more then freeriding as with my other bikes.
The LTS was my first love...what a fun bike after I dumped a Risse Genesis on it and replaced the bushings 1,000 times. Worth every replacement I did.
Dyno Roadster was a beast to get around till I got a Nexus 7 speed. 60 lbs of pure oldschool joy
I threw in the Specialized Big Hit Spec which I just parted out to get where I am today. Enjoy!

2006 GT i-Drive 4 4.0

Hi everybody, I'm quite new to cycling and to the forum and I'd be glad if someone could help me with a little dilemma.

I just purchased a 2006 GT i-Drive 4 4.0 off ebay but I'm having doubts about the bike' size.

I am 5'9" and I have to choose between 17.5 (Small) or 19.5(Medium). Is there anybody out there that owns any of the 2006 i-Drive 4 series that could give me some advice?

I've searched the web over and over but I came across no valuable information about this bike's frame sizes.

My instinct tells me I should go for the M, however, I currently own an 18" bike and it fits me perfectly.

I'd really appreciate some help

Regards
Chris

I would have to say go for the medium for sure. I have an Avalanche 2.0 Disc (see above). This is a large frame size. I'm 6' 3" and it is boderline too big. Frame fits me quite well, but I worry about my ability to bail on it, if need be. Pretty sure I could nut myself on the frame if I wiped out.

But, yea...most definitely go with the medium. Your leg should be nearly fully extended when the pedal is at the bottom of its travel. If your knees are constantly bent when your pedaling, you are wasting energy. You don't want to get a small, and have to jack the seat up to achieve pedaling efficiency...this will put your body in an awkward position which will fatigue and sore you over distances.

Just my humble opinion...happy trails.
